Thank you again for all the replies, but guess what? After posting my last comment, I was pretty gutted at a service station just outside istanbul, I went inside and bought some injection cleaner (3 quid) and the beast hasnt skipped a beat since, all along the black seal coast, powerful as...

Hi Andy it is a 24 valve 4.2 manual 80. Is it a hdj80? Anyway this problem seems to come and go and is very intermittent. I have changed the fuel filter today but am unsure where or how to check the fuel strainer. Is this the same as the fikter off the picj up in tank as Karl suggests? Sorry...

Why the hell do I always spell loosing wrong? I'm such a looser. :mrgreen:

Hello friendly helpers. Any ideas to the following problem please. We are currently loosing power at 1500 RPM. Seems OK up until this point and then the engine seems to frizzle out. So for eg in 5th gear doing about 50mph which is about the max it feels like I am pressing on and off the...

Hello All, Thank you all so much for the replies. Guess what?? literally hours after posting this I checked underneath and there was a load of oil there again - My heart sank. I assume the oil seal was a problem along with the steering arm bolts but it wasn't changed during this?? Anyway we...

Hi All, Currently in Slovenia on our way to Mongolia 8-) During the trip down to the south coast of France I noticed my steering started to feel a bit dodgy and a bit too much play in the steering - occasionally quite a scary feeling. My Mrs then noticed some oil leaking from the passenger...

Seems the new Galaxy tab doesn't have real GPS afterall. They use 3g or a wireless network to get a location. And they don't have any memory card slots either. The 7.7 galaxy tab has both! So annoying. Best Regards J

Thanks Chris, Yes, that was my main concern, Im heading to mongolia in a couple of weeks and was wondering if it would work there. :thumbup: Cheers

Hello all, Im still researching GPS systems and was wondering if the Samsung galaxy tab had true GPS? I want to know if it would work anywhere in the world without the need of a internet connection? I think this would be a great solution as it has no moving parts and with a good water/sand...

Hi There, Could this be used for overlanding? Heading to Mongolia in a few weeks and looking at toughbooks at the mo but I suppose this would be better if it could handle the vibrations/heat etc? Any ideas on that? ALso is it possible to hook up a garmin GPS with a Galaxy tab and use MM...

Good evening everyone. Just a quick question if anyone can oblige. Im about to re-carpet my cruiser and I don't know what type of underlay to use? Felt, foam, rubber? I read there is a risk it could hold water and rot the base? If anyone know the answer I would really appreciate it as I...

Hello again guys. I've finally removed all the bitumen mats and am ready to apply the flashing tape, but I have just been given some red oxide paint. Will it be worth panting the base first with this before applying the flashing tape? I suppose it cant harm can it? Best Regards James

Looks good Gilbert but did you paint the tin before hand? I seem to be scratching it quite a bit trying to get these dam mats off. Should I be worried? Best Regards James

Mine has cruise control but no air con. Well at least I think it doesnt have air con, wheres the air con button? Best Regards James

Cheers. Everyone seems to think I got a bargain although I did take a risk as I know nothing about these vehicles and paid a £500 deposit for him to take it off ebay. Best Regards James

Hello, There was a oil slick in the boot as it had been used to carry crane parts and the seats aren't too pretty. Various scuffs and marks on the body but I suppose for its age aint to bad. It also had 118,000 on the clock. Mechanically seekms sound and has just sailed through a MOT. You...

That was me :D but it is a GS and I had to drive 700 miles round trip to get it. Regards James

Your right Gilbert, I thought it was all oil, but it seems to be a big oil spill and this has made the mats mushy, so bits come up easy and others bits dont. Not sure what to do now whether just to try and take it all up or just the easy bits? If I do take it all up what should I paint it...

Yes, I was thinking that, but it is just too darn.......err. Oily. Best Regards James

OIL, lots of it under the carpet that I have taken out of the back of my 80. The carpets were full of grease and were a mess anyway so I have taken them out but underneath there is loads of gluey oil. Someone mentioned that it might be meant to be there to stop rust. Is this true? Also, is...

Hi Andrew, Thanks for the reply. Unfportunately i'm based in the North west but at least I know now that they can be cut. I dont think it has a transponder in it. Best Regards James

Hello All, After buying my 80 last week and given only 1 key, can I get more cut? Also, I assume you can just stick a screwdriver into the the barrel and steal these beauties so what is the best way to secure it? Bear in mind I will be doing a trip to Mongolia next year and people advise not...
